Le Tour de Fleece: Day Seventeen

Today is the second rest day. It was also spinning group at Tilford, so a change is as good as a rest and I took Suzie and did some more on the black Shetland. I left it too late again for photographs, and really there is no way to get decent photos of dark brown yarn in my lounge at night so photos will come tomorrow.

The washing machine decided it was no longer my friend last night, and has developed a worrying grinding and whistling noise when attempting to spin fast. All the clothes were wetter than normal too. I managed to book an engineer through the helpline this morning (who will come sometime on Thursday, those who have to see me before then will be pleased to know I do have enough clean clothes to last me) and was rather amused that while I was on hold for what felt like hours the music they chose to play at me was Handel’s Water Music. At least someone there has a sense of humour 🙂
